My trainer challenged me with a great exercise the other day. It was so simple, no “big complicated machines”, but I feel it today in my gluteus maximums, and my calves (in a good way).

There was a 16 inch box that I was standing in front of with 2, 12 pound dumbbells. I sat down (feet 1 ½ feet apart) and then you stand up and do single- concentrated curls. It’s effective because when you sit down your sitting down below parallel with your thighs. You feel it right away in your butt!

Now, when I say “I felt it the next day”, that is not to say that I was incapacitated. If you work out with a trainer and you feel so sore that you want to cry, or can’t do your daily activities without wincing, then FIND A NEW TRAINER!
